representatives of coach training organizations and educational
institutions offering coach training programs. Please contact us at

programs -- including our 2008 ACTO Conference.
Our organization has grown in membership and stature. We have a formal
network to share ideas, strategies, and best practices which are enhancing
the quality, breadth and depth of coach training and education. Our recent
2007 Meeting at the Colorado Chautauqua in
Boulder, Colorado featured an excellent program covering key developments
in
the area of coach training and areas of interest to the coach training
industry.
We have members from the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and

I. ACTO Purpose
Statements - (As approved by the 8 Founding Schools - June 3, 2002)
ACTO exists to be stewards of high quality coach training now and in the
future. As stewards we continue to explore, challenge and evolve the
meaning and principles of quality coaching training.
We support and align with the definition, ethics and competencies as
espoused by the ICF as a base line foundation for Coaching training.
We invite everyone who is dedicated to following and advocating high
quality teaching standards in the coaching profession to be a part of ACTO.
As an independent member organization, our members include coach training
school representatives, individual professional coaches and other
professionals who desire to further the credibility and impact of the
coaching profession throughout the world.
Our vision is to offer members the opportunity to share and explore
opinions, thoughts and ideas on evolving topics related to coaching and
coach training. Each member can choose for them self how active a role
they have in the organization. A member can be a financial supporter and
first hand observer of the evolution of the coaching profession or they
can be very active by being engaged in one or more of the following:
researching, writing articles, public speaking, advanced training
workshops, organizing member forum, helping to advance the understanding,
definition, competencies, ethics and applications of coaching and the best
practices on how to train them.
A representative of each of the first eight Coach Training Schools that
earned ICF's Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) designation
constitutes the founding governing body of ACTO. The governing body is
responsible for articulating the organization's vision, mission and
policies. This body is also responsible for approving and implementing
membership programs, offerings and administration.
II. ACTO Vision
The impact of coaching training has permeated the domains of personal
development, human relationships, education, and organizations throughout
the world. This transformation includes greater awareness, aliveness,
creativity, innovation, caring, collaboration, and stewardship.
